Thiago Motta Eyes Elusive Win as Juventus Face Monza

Juventus coach Thiago Motta is confident his team can find their winning form again when they face struggling Monza in Serie A on Sunday.

Juventus coach Thiago Motta is eager to see his team return to winning ways after a string of four consecutive draws in Serie A. The Bianconeri have slipped to sixth in the standings, and Motta is hoping to reverse their fortunes when they face 19th-placed Monza on Sunday.

However, Juventus' injury woes continue to mount, with several key players set to miss the clash. Defender Andrea Cambiaso, who has been sidelined with an ankle injury since early December, is being assessed for a potential return. Meanwhile, midfielder Douglas Luiz, who has struggled with multiple injuries since October, may not be available for selection. Motta provided an update on the duo's status, saying, “Today we'll assess Cambiaso's condition. On the other hand, I might bring Douglas Luiz, but since I want everyone to be 100% I prefer to postpone his return to the squad.”

Juventus' injury list is extensive, with Gleison Bremer, Juan Cabal, Arkadiusz Milik, Jonas Rouhi, and Timothy Weah all currently sidelined. Motta will be forced to navigate these personnel challenges as he seeks to guide his team back to winning ways against Monza on Sunday.

Juventus coach Thiago Motta is adopting a positive mindset ahead of his team's Serie A clash against Monza on Sunday. Motta expressed his optimism, saying, “I hope to always see something good, both in the path of growth and in everything we do. Tomorrow against Monza we face a good team, with a good coach, and as always we must try to play a great game.”

Despite Monza's current winless streak in the league, which stretches to eight games, Motta is aware of the potential dangers they pose. Monza have shown resilience in recent matches, holding Torino to a draw in November and pushing Udinese hard in a 2-1 defeat earlier this month. Motta emphasized the importance of being prepared to face a well-organized Monza side, stating, “If we encounter a compact Monza team, we must be able to attack effectively.”
